[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 709852, member: 21572"] Your post reminded me of the collection of stuffed animals I amassed over the years between all of my children! Each kid had upwards of a half dozen each, and if someone liked someone else's stuffed animal, it was fair game! LOL! LOL, about your daughter making use of every angle when co-sleeping with you! makes me think of a grandson of mine who just loved to fall asleep in his crib with his legs jutting out from the bars of the crib railing... and his diapered butt pressed up against the rungs! So uncomfortable looking but that's the way he liked it! I used to worry and fuss over the temperature of the home, bed-clothes along with blankets, etc), related to my children and their comfort when they were little, but by the time baby #2 came along I was at ease with knowing how hot - too hot was, and how cold - too cold was. It's funny how quickly you become in-tune with the needs of little ones when you're around them 24/7.

Growing up in a home with baby siblings and lots of baby cousins always around, everyone wore cloth diapers, and the same held true when I babysat, so for me, washing a load of diapers every two or three days and pinning them up on the outdoor line to dry was standard routine, a routine I remembered growing up, so doing the same for my own children just felt right, and back in the 80's when my kids were at the diaper stage, cloth diapers were still hugely popular and widely used, so they were still readily available in our area and of course, super economical. The only leaking I remember in my home related to cloth diapers, was with one of my sons who was born with spindles for legs. I could get his diapers to fit just fine, but rubber pants, no way. The leg holes were always MILES too big on him, so I do remember an occasional leaky diaper or two with him, but it didn't last for very long, as he quickly grew out of the toothpicks for legs stage.
